CAR CoUPLERs-At the meeting OF car
builders, at Minneapolis, last Tuesday, the
reporl of the committee on automatic freight
couplsls presented an elaborate exhaustive
report and dwelt at length upon the difficult
ties encountered in making tests and weak
nesses displayed in various couplers. -Four
thousand patents on car couplers have been
issued by the Patent Office up to this time,
aud not one had been generally adopted.
The report devotes great deal OF space to
tests recently held at Burlington, and to
descriptions of the various couplings. 1t
recommends that the association adopt. the
Janney coupler as q standard By the term
"Jsnuey coupler" the report Includes all
couplers which act on the same principle as
tie Jannoy and which will couple with it.
TIE committee strongly urge that the su-
tom, >tic coupler standard be adopted at this
meet pg, that the automatic coupler is 8 ne.
csssity, and before another year the State
legislatul will compel them to be intro
dnced. TIE various roads will probably
adopt differ, mt couplers and great deal OF
trouble woulo be the result.

and to regain his health, had left New York

iy sailed up the Potomac river, and dropped
anchor short distance above this city. 1t
was ascertained that en- route q landing had
been made at Mount Vernon, bat very
little account of that visit has been pub
lshed, and it was generally supposed that
it amounted TO nothing more than
others made to the Mecca of America.
While at Mt Vernon he purchased 33t
acres OF land adjoining the property of the
Mt. Vernon Association on the north, and
has given it TO the association, thus en-
arging the Mt. Vernon estate 10 1851 acres.
The purchase was completed yesterday, and
the lady managers of the association have re-
turned their thanks to Mr. Gould for his
handsome donation. The idea of the pur-
chase and donation suggested itself as MIR.

passed two hours there very pleasantly with
his family, In the course Of his inquiries
concerning the length and breadth Of the
property, he was Impressed with the i'm
portance of protecting the mansion OF the

promptly authorized the purchase of the
tract mentioned, and added that it would
afford him great pleasure to donate it to the

your majesty is the creator of the Prussian
army IN Its present form. By the heroism of
THIS army and its allies you have restored the
empire to its former might and splendor, and
maintained the peace of Europe for many
years. The present political relations of
European people are in many respects
stsalned We may see Germany Unexpectedly
involved in war. We are deeply moved that
you are not spared the grief of seeing an un-
acceptable limit placed on the army bill.
Such procedure is contrary to the usage
based upon repeated compromises ana led to
the dissolution of the reichstag. We assure
you OF our entire joyful support and our
gratitude for your faithful solicituded for the
army. We are confident Prussia will con-
slder no sacrifice too heavy which will avert
